...public feuding between Harry Truman's Secretary of State Dean Acheson and ex-Acheson State Department Planner George Kennan over Kennan's call for a neutral Germany (TIME, Jan. 20) reflects far more than a mere difference of political opinion. Acheson regards the strong Germany policy as his own-hammered out in the late 1940s over Kennan's opposition-and regards Kennan's attack more as a personal affront than an attack on Successor John Foster Dulles. Still silent in this Democratic debate over foreign policy fundamentals: Adlai Stevenson, who despite earlier, well-publicized intimations...
...made Hartford today a showplace for baroque. Among the museum's bargain showpieces: Francisco Ribalta's Ecstasy of St. Francis (first by the 17th century Spanish master to enter a U.S. collection), Salvator Rosa's wild-haired portrait of his mistress, La Ricciardi (purchased for a mere $4,500), Francisco Zurbarán's dramatic St. Serapion, and the museum's latest acquisition, the powerful, full-bearded Philosopher by Spaniard Jusepe de Ribera, bought...

When the uninformed Venetian finally begins to understand, he swills wine, falls off a quay and is drowned, but not before the reader wishes that he had taken his painted oar to the girl in Liberty silks...

The ban on Manhattan-born Singer Callas came from the implacable Rome opera authorities, who were heartily seconded by Rome's prefecture. Ostensible reason: the mere sight of Maria onstage again might incite Rome's already outraged opera fans to riot...
From House to House. The shift in goals-from mere "malaria control" to complete and quick eradication-was dictated partly by the success of early campaigns in Sardinia, Italy, Greece and Chile, partly by the danger that unless the attack is promptly pushed, the DDT-resistant strains of Anopheles may get out of hand. Abandoning area spraying, the malaria fighters are tackling the huge job of spraying every dwelling in malarial regions. Walls are saturated with DDT as fast as possible; scheduled are at least three more annual sprayings. This way, doctors believe, the cycle of mosquito-man-mosquito renewal...
